CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional PatentApplication No. 61/880,250 entitled “APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FORENHANCING A USER'S HAIR” and filed on Sep. 20, 2013 for DanielleLindsay, which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to hair enhancement and more particularly relatesto hair extensions.

BACKGROUND

Artificial hair integrations or hair extensions are commonly used to addlength or fullness to a user's hair. The hair extensions incorporateartificial or human hair into a user's natural hair. To couple the hairextensions to the user's head, several techniques have been introduced.In certain circumstances the hair is clipped in by a series of clipscoupled to a hair weft. The clips typically cannot be worn when the useris sleeping and thus must be removed each night before the user retiresto bed.

Other user's bond the hair extensions to the user's natural hair usingglue. This technique requires a hair professional to apply the hairextensions and also requires a hair professional to remove the hairextensions. The bonding technique typically lasts 4-6 weeks before theuser must visit a hair professional for maintenance.

Another method to apply hair extensions includes the use of micro ringsor micro loops. In this method small metal rings lined with silicon arecoupled to the hair extension. The rings are fixed to the hairextensions and are tightened on the user's natural hair with the use ofa special tool that clamps the ring around the natural hair. The ringstypically need to be repositioned by a hair professional every 2-3months as the natural hair grows and the rings move away from the scalp.Obviously, the use of a hair professional involves additional costs toinstall and remove the hair extensions.

SUMMARY

From the foregoing discussion, it should be apparent that a need existsfor an apparatus, system, and method for enhancing a user's hair.Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would be selfapplicable and repositionable without the aid of a hair professional.

FIG. 1 is a rear view illustrating one embodiment of an apparatus 100 toenhance a user's hair in accordance with the present invention. Incertain embodiments, the apparatus 100 includes a weft of hair material102, at least one ring 104 a-104 h (collectively rings 104), and atleast one T-anchor 106 a-106 h (collectively T-anchors 106).

In certain embodiments, the weft of hair material 102 comprisesartificial or natural hair that is used to integrate with a user'snatural hair to lengthen or thicken the user's hair. In otherembodiments, the weft of hair material 102 may be integrated with theuser's natural hair to change the color or texture of the user's hair.One of skill in the art will recognize other reasons that a user maywish to integrate artificial or natural hair with the user's own hair.

The weft of hair material 102, in one embodiment, includes a united end108 and a free end 110. At the united end 108 of the weft of hairmaterial 102, individual strands of hair (or hair like material) arecoupled to one another. In one embodiment, the individual strands ofhair (or hair like material) are woven together at the united end 108 ofthe weft of hair material 102. In other embodiments the individualstrands of hair (or hair like material) may be coupled to another pieceof material, such as lace or other fabric, at the united end 108 of theweft of hair material 102. In any embodiment, as further discussedbelow, the united end 108 of the weft of hair material 102 has a supportarea 112 that is sufficiently resilient to keep the T-anchors 106positioned through the support area 112 when a weft of hair material 102is coupled to a user's hair and the weft of hair material 102 is tuggedon or otherwise pulled.

The free end 110 of the weft of hair material 102, in certainembodiments, is free flowing such that the individual strands of hair(or hair like material) are uncoupled at the free end 110 of the weft ofhair material 102. In other embodiments, the free end 110 of the weft ofhair material 102 may not actually be free at all. For example, incertain embodiments, the free end 110 of the weft of hair material 102may be braided such that the free end 110 of the weft of hair material102 forms a braid. One of skill in the art will recognize that the usermay form other hairstyles with the free end 110 of the weft of hairmaterial 102.

The rings 104 are made of a deformable material that is deformed inresponse to a mechanical pressure. For example, in certain embodiments,the rings 104 may be crushed or deformed using a pair of conventionalpliers such as needle nose pliers. In other embodiments, the rings 104may be crushed or deformed using specialty tools designed to crush ordeform the rings.

In certain embodiments, the rings 104 are made of a deformable metalsuch as aluminum, copper, etc. that is deformable in response to themechanical pressure described above. In one embodiment, the rings 104include a pliable non-slip material disposed within the rings 104.Deformation of the rings 104 also deforms the pliable non-slip material.For example, in one embodiment, each ring 104 has an inner diameter thatis lined with a pliable non-slip material such as silicon or otherrubber like material. When the rings 104 are crushed or deformed by thepliers or other mechanical device, the deformable material of the rings104 also crushes the silicon or other rubber like material. Anythingpositioned within the inner diameter of the rings 104 is thereforetrapped within the inner diameter of the rings 104 by virtue of thecrushed non-slip material around the item positioned within the innerdiameter of the rings 104. While the embodiments depicted in the Figuresdepict the rings 104 as having a cylindrical configuration, one of skillin the art will recognize that in other embodiments the rings 104 mayhave differing geometrical shapes (i.e., triangular, square,trapezoidal, etc.).

In certain embodiments, the rings 104 are coupled to the weft of hairmaterial 102 by the T-anchors 106. As is more clearly depicted in FIGS.2A and 2B, each T-anchor 106 includes a hair retrieval devices 304having a first capping element 204 disposed at a first end 210 of thepliable fiber 202 and a second capping element 206 disposed at a secondend 212 of the pliable fiber 202. The first end 210 of the pliable fiber202 is disposed opposite the second end 212 of the pliable fiber 202.

In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the first capping element204 and the second capping element 206 is a shaft disposed perpendicularto a longitudinal axis 208 of the pliable fiber 202. For example, in theembodiment illustrated in FIG. 2A, both the first capping element 204and the second capping element 206 are shafts that are positionedperpendicular to the longitudinal axis 208 of the pliable fiber 202. Inthe embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2B, only the first capping element204 is a shaft that is positioned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis208 of the pliable fiber 202. The second capping element 206 is asubstantially planar element having a width 214 substantially largerthan a diameter 216 of the pliable fiber 202.

In certain embodiments, the first capping element 204 is approximatelyas wide as the second capping element 206 and both the first cappingelement 204 and the second capping element 206 are wider than the rings104. The first capping element 204 or the second capping element 206 ispositioned through the ring 104 and also through the united end 108 ofthe weft of hair material 102 such that the pliable fiber 202 isdisposed within the ring 104 and through the united end 108 of the weftof hair material 102. In such a position, the first capping element 204and the second capping element 206 limit the withdrawal of the T-anchor106 from the weft of hair material 102 and from the ring 104. Thus, theweft of hair material can be hung from the rings 104 by the T-anchors106.

Referring again to FIG. 1, in the embodiment depicted therein, theT-anchors 106 are positioned through the united end 108 of the weft ofhair material 102 and also through the rings 104. With the T-anchors 106positioned in this position, the weft of hair material 102 is ready tobe coupled to a user's natural hair to enhance the user's hair. Incertain embodiments, the pliable fiber 202 of the T-anchors 106 is longenough to allow the rings 104 to sit at a position above the supportarea 112 of the weft of hair material 102 so that the rings 104 and thesupport area 112 of the weft of hair material 102 do not interfere withone another and create an unsightly bump in the user's hair when theuser's hair is positioned over the weft of hair material 102 as isfurther discussed below.

FIG. 3 is a rear view illustrating one embodiment of the apparatus toenhance a user's hair in use in accordance with the present invention.In use, to couple weft of hair material 102 to a user's hair the user'shair is divided from top to bottom. In certain embodiments, the user'shair is divided at a position defined by a semicircle extending around auser's head from a first temple to a second temple with the first templebeing disposed opposite the second temple.

With the user's hair thus divided, the weft of hair material 102 is slidto a position just below the divide in the user's hair. In certainembodiments, the apparatus 100 may include band 302 that is positionablearound the user's head and which is coupleable to the weft of hairmaterial 102 to keep the weft of hair material 102 in position justbelow the divide in the user's hair. Portions of the user's hair aregathered and positioned through each of the rings 104 coupled to theweft of hair material 102 by the T-anchors 106. Once the portions of theuser's hair are positioned within the rings 104, the rings are deformedby a mechanical device (i.e., needle nose pliers) to crush the rings 104and trap the portions of user's hair within the rings 104. In thismanner the weft of hair material 102 is coupled to a user's naturalhair. Once the weft of hair material 102 is coupled to a user's naturalhair, the top portion of the user's hair can be let down to blend thenatural hair with the weft of hair material 102.

In certain embodiments, the apparatus 100 to enhance a user's hairincludes a hair retrieval device 304 to assist a user in positioning theportions of hair through the rings 104. For example, with reference toFIG. 3, in one embodiment, the hair retrieval device 304 includes alength of fibrous material having a loop 205 at one end. The loop 205 ispositionable through the rings 104 and a portion 306 of the user's hairis then positioned through the loop 205. The hair retrieval device 304is withdrawn from within the ring 104 which in turn draws the portion306 of the user's hair through the ring 104. Once the portion of theuser's hair is positioned within the ring 104, the ring can be crushedor otherwised deformed to trap the portion 306 of the user's hair withinthe ring 104.

In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus 100 includes a plurality ofrings 104 a-104 h and a plurality of T-anchors 106 a-106 h (see, FIG.1). In such an embodiment, the apparatus 100 may also include aplurality of hair retrieval devices which are substantially similar tothe hair retrieval device 304 depicted in FIG. 3. Each hair retrievaldevice 304, in one embodiment, includes a length of fibrous materialthat makes a loop 205 at one end. In certain embodiments the apparatus100 includes as many hair retrieval devices 304 as there are rings 104and T-anchors 106. In such an embodiment, the hair retrieval devices 304are pre-positioned through the rings 104 with each ring containing ahair retrieval device. As such, the hair retrieval devices 304 may beprepared to receive separate portions of the user's hair to help draweach separate portion of the user's hair through the rings 104.

Note that in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, only ring 104 b andT-anchor 106 b have been labeled to avoid obscuring the overallillustration. One of skill in the art will recognize that the otherelements have been labeled in FIG. 1 and discussed above.

Once the weft of hair material 102 is coupled to the user's hair, theuser's hair will continue to grow. Over time, the user's natural hairwill eventually grow to a length wherein the weft of hair no longerhangs near the user's scalp. At this point, the user may wish toreposition the weft of hair material 102 near the user's scalp. Incertain embodiments, the present subject matter includes a system toreuse the weft of hair material 102.

For example, in one embodiment, the T-anchors 106 are conventionaltagging fasteners used to affix price tags or other tags to clothing orother items sold in stores. In such an embodiment, once the user desiresto reposition the weft of hair material 102, the user may remove theportions 306 of the user's hair from within the rings 104. A newuncrushed or non-deformed ring 104 may then be positioned over theT-anchor 106 and the process may be repeated to recouple the weft ofhair material 102 to the user's natural hair. In an exemplaryembodiment, the tagging fasteners are about one fourth of an inch longalthough other lengths are within the scope of the present subjectmatter.

In embodiments wherein the T-anchors 106 are tagging fasteners, theapparatus 100 may include a tagging gun (not shown). The tagging gun isconfigured to position the T-anchors 106 through the united end 108 ofthe weft of hair material 102 and through the rings 104 to couple theweft of hair material 102 to the rings 104.

FIG. 4 depicts a placement chart 400 according to one embodiment of thepresent subject matter. In certain embodiments, the apparatus 100discussed above may include a plurality of wefts of hair material witheach weft of hair material being similar to the weft of hair material102 discussed above. In such an embodiment the differences between eachweft of hair material 102 may be that they have different lengths anduse a different number of T-anchors 106 and rings 104. For example, incertain embodiments, as weft of hair material 102 positioned a topposition 402 on the user's head may be about two inches long and mayinclude two rings 104 and two T-anchors 106. In certain embodiments, auser may wish to use two such hair weft material 102 sections, one foreach side of the user's head. For hair weft material 102 sectionspositioned at a middle position 404 on the user's head, the hair weftmaterial 102 may be about eleven inches long and may include abouteleven rings 104 and eleven T-anchors 106. For hair weft material 102sections positioned at a bottom position 406 on the user's head, thehair weft material 102 may be about five inches long and may includeabout five rings 104 and five T-anchors 106. Of course, the hair weftmaterial may be positioned at other positions on a user's heat and mayinclude differing numbers of rings 104 and T-anchors 106 depending on auser's desires.

FIG. 5 is a schematic block diagram illustrating one embodiment of amethod 500 for enhancing a user's hair in accordance with the presentsubject matter. In certain embodiments, the method 500 begins 502 and aT-anchor 106 is positioned 504 through a united end 108 in a weft ofhair material 102. The T-anchor 106 is also positioned 506 through aring 104 comprising a deformable material.

A user's hair is divided 508 at a position defined by a semicircleextending around a user's head from a first temple to a second temple.The first temple is disposed opposite the second temple. The weft ofhair material 102 is slid 510 to a position below the divide in theuser's hair. A loop 205 in a length of fibrous material 304 ispositioned 512 through the ring 104. In certain embodiments, asdiscussed above, the loops 205 may be pre-positioned through the rings104. In other embodiments, the loops 205 may be positioned through therings 104 individually as the weft of hair 102 is coupled to the user'shair.

To couple the weft of hair 102 to the user's head, a portion 306 of theuser's hair is gathered 514 and the loop 205 in the length of fibrousmaterial 304 is positioned around the gathered portion of the user'shair 306. The loop 205 in the length of fibrous material 304 is removed516 from within the ring 104 to draw the portion 306 of the user's hairinto the ring 104. The ring 104 is deformed 518 to trap the portion 306of the user's hair in the ring 104 and the method 100 ends 520. Thedeformation 518 of the ring 104 traps the T-anchor 106 within the ring104 to support the weft of hair material 102 on the user's head.

As discussed above, in certain embodiments, as the user's hair growsnaturally, the user may wish to reposition the weft of hair material 102on the user's head. FIG. 6 is a schematic block diagram illustratinganother embodiment of a method 600 for enhancing a user's hair inaccordance with the present subject matter. In such an embodiment, themethod 600 begins 602 and the user removes 604 the portions 306 of theuser's hair from within the rings 104. Because the rings 104 have beencrushed, the user also removes 606 the rings 104 from the T-anchors 106.In certain embodiments, the rings 104 are removed 606 from the T-anchors106 by un-crushing the rings 104 or otherwise deforming the rings 104 toallow them to slip off of the T-anchors 106. In other embodiments, theuser may simply cut the T-anchors 106 to remove 606 to remove both therings 104 and the T-anchors 106 from the weft of hair 102.

A new uncrushed or non-deformed ring 104 may then affixed 608 to theweft of hair 102. In embodiments where the T-anchors 106 are removed,the new uncrushed or non-deformed ring 104 may be affixed 608 to a newT-anchor 106 positioned through the united end 108 of the weft of hair102. Otherwise, the new rings 104 may be coupled to the old T-anchors106 in embodiments where the rings 104 are removed from existingT-anchors 106.

With the new ring 104 affixed 608 to the weft of hair 102, the weft ofhair is ready to be coupled to the user's hair. The user then couples610 the weft of hair 102 to the user's head at a desired position in amanner substantially similar to the manner in which the user originallycoupled the weft of hair 102 to the user's head as described above withrespect to method 500. The method then ends 612.
